This past weekend (Nov. 4-5) we went up to Kibbutz Ain Dor, near the Kineret (where we did the Yam L' Yam hike), for a seminar about Yitzhak Rabin and the peace-process. Rabin was chosen as the topic since it has been 10 years since his Assasination. (Incidentally, we will be attending a rally tomorrow night in Tel Aviv that commemorates Rabin.) At the seminar we were divided into three types of groups: English speaking, Hebrew speaking, and Spanish\Portuguese speaking. I decided to do the Spanish\Portuguese group since it would be one of the few times where I could practice my Spanish during the Workshop year. They were an incredible group of people and welcomed the four of us non-native Spanish speakers. At first, picking up the Portuguese was incredibly difficult, but as we got used to their accents we were able to understand and communicate witht them. They taught us, and vice-versa, about how Habonim Dror works in their countries. This is a photo of all of us at the end of the seminar.
